I, for one, actually think it would be more comical and entertaining to have the Silk Pony as the Democrat nominee than Osama Obama.

His "Fight for the Middle Class Shtick" would melt like a snow cone on a hot summer day once the people and small businesses that he ruined in his years of ambulance chasing by channeling the dead started "swiftboating" him with well-timed commercials.

"I don't know what to say to explain my loss in Iowa.
They must have shown more muscle than I did."

No one makes health care more expensive than Edwards and his gang of shameless, ambulance-chasing trial lawyers.

Did he make his appeal to save the middle class from his 20,000 square foot mansion?
